Take Wing
The ride to the castle for the Coronation Ceremony was not at all what I was expecting. Not in the slightest. Although it was sudden, not to mention impossible, the ride wasn't too bad. After taking initial flight, it was smooth sailing all the way to the entrance of the castle. I wasn't too unfamiliar being in flying vehicles, but the way that the chariot was being flown was interesting to say the least. I was surprised that the two stallions were able to hold up the whole chariot and myself without much struggle. Impressive if you ask me. When we reached the castle, I saw many, many little horses gathering around. The streets were filled up with cheers and excitement. Seems this 'Twilight Sparkle' is adored by everyone, they're going crazy here. I exited the chariot, waiting for my escorts to unhinge themselves so that we may head to the Ceremonial Room for the Coronation. Entering the castle, I let the two guards guide me to the room, we wondered through the many confusing hallways. Though, the presence of the many guests going in a certain direction suggested that the ceremony was up ahead. Still, I let the guards take lead.
Finally reaching the Ceremonial Room, I saw rows and rows of bright and colorful horses wearing fancy clothes, though I saw that many weren't wearing anything at all. Huh? I thought these horses wore clothes? At least SOME clothes anyway... Strange. "Ahem, my Prince?" One of the escorts caught my attention, "Yes?", I asked.
"We have arrived. We still have duties to partake in. We will take our leave now, sir."
I nodded, "Yes, thank you both for the escort, please, attend to whatever you need to do". With that, they left to do their duties. I took a look around, it was very much crowded in here, all wanting to see the new princess. As I walked around, some horses in very fancy-like clothing came up to me. "Ah, Prince Blueblood! The pony I just wanted to see. It is great to see you here! I was beginning to think you weren't coming to this wonderful occasion", A dark gray unicorn stallion with a white collar and red bow-tie greeted me with a slight bow. His voice dripped in illustriousness. His two companions behind him, a light grey unicorn stallion with a black top hat and black suit, and a pink unicorn mare with a lovely red dress, bowed along with. Pony? Makes sense I guess. Who are these ponies I wonder?
"I wouldn't miss an important progression such as this for the world, my good sir", I gave a bow back, hoping I was doing this 'prince' thing right.
"Well of course, my Prince", he gave a smirk. He fully lifted himself and coughed into his hoof. "Ah yes, although we are both on the Council, I don't think we personally met yet. I am still new after all", he let out a chuckle, "My name is Avid Chamber, it is an honor to finally speak to you." He held out his hoof for what I can guess was a 'hoofshake'. I decided to go along with it, to not let any suspicion arise. "Ah, yes, Avid Chamber. I remember you. The greeting is likewise", I gave a fake smile and completed the 'hoofshake'. We just 'wrapped' our hooves and shook.
Taking back his hoof, he remembered his two companions. "Yes, Let me introduce you to my wife, Admit Clarity, she is apart of the Judicial Council. At the moment, she is the acting Head Judge of the High Court." Head Judge? High Court? Sounds interesting, I'll have to look into it later. Also, I'm apart of a Council? Definitely need to look into that too.
She reached out her hoof, "Oh my, as my husband said, it is an honor to meet you, Prince Blueblood." Reaching my hoof to hers, I brought my head down for a bow. "It is very nice to meet you too... My, my, can I say that you look absolutely lovely?" I say, trying to give a good first impression.
She giggles into her hoof, "Hmm, yes. Yes you may". I released her hoof and looked to the third individual, "Now, whose this?"
The pony in question came forward, giving another bow, "Hello, sir. I am Councilpony Chamber's office attendant, Look Over. A pleasure to meet your acquaintance." I gave a simple nod, "Nice to meet you too".
Avid Chamber spoke up again "I'm looking forward to working with you, Honorable." Honorable? What is that? I was shaken out of my thoughts when a trumpet gave a loud tune. The room went quiet as three ponies entered in. The larger pony was a white mare, wearing both a loving pink dress and a rich crown. The other was dark blue mare, wearing an exotic purple dress. The last was a pink mare, wearing a light baby blue dress. That's not what caught my eye though. All three regal-like mares possessed large unicorn horns on their heads, and beautiful wings on their sides. "Who are they...?" I whispered to myself in awe. They just screamed royal.
"Fillies and gentlecolts, thank you for attending such a momentous occasion today, please, the ceremony will be taking place in a few minutes." The celestial-like mare was loud enough for everyone to hear, but still had a soft lovingly voice. Is this that 'Princess Celestia' I heard that maid talk about?
Everyone started to find the places they wanted to stand. I noticed that Avid Chamber and his party were making their way to the front, so I followed in suit. I gave a nod to the Councilpony as I walked up, but didn't go further into conversation. In the front of the room, stood the three regal ponies and five other individuals that were not known to me. I turned to Avid Chamber, "Who are those lovely lad- mares up there?" Although he was still smiling, he gave me a slight confused face. "You mean the Elements of Harmony? They are the saviors of Equestria, my dear Prince. I'm surprised to hear that you don't know them." Fuck fuck fuck fuck. "Oh, of course I know who the Elements of... Harmony are, I must not have recognize them in those gorgeous dresses. Silly me." He appeared to have accepted my answer, but I needed to start being careful about what I ask that could be general knowledge.
A trumpet once again sounded off, signalling that the Coronation is starting. The pony I assume to be Princess Celestia steps up to begin her speech.
"We are gathered here today in celebration of a momentous occasion. My most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, has done many extraordinary things since she's lived in Ponyville..." Ponyville? What a cheesy name. She began again after a short pause, "...She even helped reunite me with my sister, Princess Luna." She glanced over to the dark blue pony, they both smiled with one another. "But today, Twilight Sparkle did something extraordinary. She created new magic, proving without a doubt, she is ready to be crowned Equestria's newest princess. Fillies and gentlecolts, may I present, for the very first time, Princess Twilight Sparkle!"
With that, the large doors that lead into the room burst open. And the pony herself is seen walking through the aisle with a parade behind her. The parade began to sing, four identical mares walk down with matching banners, and four guards marched behind them as well. Princess Twilight Sparkle continued to where Princess Celestia stood, a crown was presented to her by a small purple lizard. A lizard? They have lizard people here too? This place keeps getting stranger and stranger. Surprised I'm still functioning...
Then, to my disbelief, the crown began floating from off the pillow it laid on. A golden aura surrounded it, guiding it to the top of the newly decorated princess. She presented herself to the crowd before turning around with the others up front to the what I assume is the balcony. The hell did I just see? The crown literally floated to her... Wait, is this what they mean by 'new magic'? Holy shit...
From the balcony, Princess Twilight Sparkle began giving a speech to the hundreds of ponies below. As everyone started to move forward to hear what the princess was going to say, I stayed in my spot still in disbelief of what I just saw. The ponies moved around me, not paying attention to me whatsoever, too focused on what their new leader was saying. I got lost in my thoughts.
Wait, so this Princess Twilight Sparkle created magic? That's impossible, magic doesn't exist... No, that's not right. Me being here is impossible. Me flying on a goddamn chariot is impossible. Being a fucking pony is impossible. This is nothing, nothing compared to everything that has happened to me in the last 24 or so hours. Floating crown? Bitch, I became a pretty pony prince over-fucking-night. I'm a prince... I'm on a council... I don't even know who I am. How the fuck am I going to keep this charade up? How long am I going to be able to keep it up? I can't let any of these ponies know, I'm literally impersonating their prince. If they found out I'm not actually Blueblood, I'll be fucking executed on the spot. Oh God, what did I get myself into!? Why does this shit have to happen to me? Why does everything go to shit..., I felt myself trembling from anxiety. It was hard to breathe, my heart began to race, and I started to sweat profusely. I needed to get out of here right now.
Turning around in panic, I started to run out of the room and into the confusing hallways of the large castle. Time went on by as I flew through the hallways aimlessly, I tried to run away from the walls closing in, my breathing from sprinting and panic was raucous and harsh. The world began to spin and the floor was closing in. Images started to swell into my head. The hallway became a sandy desert, buildings began budding from the ground, cracking noises could be heard off in the distance. I fell on my ass and looked at my hooves. Fingers started to take shape and sprout from my hooves, my white fur became skin. There was blood, blood everywhere. It was all over me. I started to hyperventilate, my breathing getting worse as images continued to change.
I heard voices, concern and confusion was heard through their tones. I looked around for the foreign voices, finally spotting silhouette blurs running toward me. My eyes went wide, I lifted my arms up, holding the rifle up and took aim at the incoming targets. As I pulled the trigger, I heard the sound that will always follow my nightmares, the sound that caused so much pain, so much guilt. The rifle made a *click* sound. The gun was jammed. My targets were already on me. I attacked.
Rushing forward, I tackled the closest one, wrestling them to the ground. I had no chance, I was outnumbered, no amount of combat training would permit survival. I had to give everything I had to live. The second silhouette pulled me off of the first one, putting me in a hold. I tried everything within myself to get out of it, otherwise it was death. I couldn't think, everything was happening too fast, my vision began to blur. Both silhouettes now held me down, shouting something I couldn't understand. I exerted too much energy, my body relaxed, the adrenaline left my body. I couldn't see, but my hearing was clearing from its muffled state from before. Two male voices could be heard, telling me to calm down, asking if I am okay. I didn't respond, I was tired and defeated.
I closed my eyes, trying to clear the blurriness, the desert from before began shifting back to the hallways of someplace familiar. It was the castle, the pony castle. I relaxed, I wasn't out there anymore, I was okay. I concentrated on calming my breathing. The voices were clear now.
"Sir! Sir, please you need to calm down. Just breathe... yes, that's right, just keep breathing like that okay, sir? Corporal, help me lift him up." The strangers lifted me up, I held on tight to them, still shaking.
"Lets take him to the medical wing, I've never seen him like this before."
"Wha... What happened? Who are y-you?" I asked, feeling like I knew exactly what just transpired.
"Sergeant Glide, sir. Now, please settle down, we're taking you to the medical wing to find out." I didn't respond as they both carried me with luster to the 'medical wing'.
I just had an anxiety attack... or panic attack, whatever the fuck its called. Fuck me, I hadn't had one of those since I was a child. I need to have better control, why the hell did I freak out like that? I paused and looked down to my lifted, shaking body.
I know why, and its probably reasonable to be in such a state. But now I may be in a whole lot of trouble. Fuck.

I think not

Are you planning to contenue? If you had this that long and forgot, it means that you don't care anymore, what it'll be?
9618196
Dude, don't be rude.
9618196
Nah, its fine Firestorm808, but to answer your question Voltaje, its not that I don't care but more of not being motivated. I work. A lot. And it really drains me. I mostly forgot because I haven't touched on any of my stories. If you look, I don't have a good track record of keeping up with them. I mostly write when I feel like it, and this was just one of the ones I forgot about. I do plan to continue, but that could change based on how I feel. Hope that answered something.
It would be nice to see this continue but that's up to you.

You might want to stay away from MythrilMoth's stories, then. Most of his stories have shown zero signs of updating, and he always gets mad when people bring that up.
Didn't this used to be longer?
Hm... well, the grammar is a little bit... meh, but seems interesting enough.
For reference, don't use the number ('2') and instead use the word ('two'). Also, make sure to enter a new line when changing speakers.
For example:
Original:
Edited:
If you make sure to fix up those two problems, the only other thing I could see being a problem is the pacing.
Whilst this isn't as bad as other fics, make sure not to rush into moments. There isn't really any big exmples so far, it is a common ploblem with first fics.
Edit: Just noticed this isn't your first fic, sorry about the assumption.

MythrilMoth passed away a few days ago, so those stories are not going to be completed unless someone picks them up.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, I appreciate any and all comments about such things. I'm definitely not a professional writer in any sense, so any help is appreciated. :D
Nice!! Realy looking forward to new chapters!!
Damn, didn't realized that I missed the update and missed it for some many days. So far it sounds like he is either a soldier who was wounded in a mission, or a civilian that got hit during the crossfire. I wonder if this is going to be BlueLight shipping fix with how much you keep mentioning the new 'princess'. I wonder if this Blueblood was raised by Celestia or had his own family? I wonder what sort of duties he had for the crown or if he just lazed around all day attending parties and such?
I just found this and i need more.
